From the Building Drought Early Warning Capacity Workshop in Bozeman, Montana March 17-18, 2015.
A workshop was held in August 2014, at University of California San Diego/Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Thirty-two representatives from multiple agencies met for three days to scope out an appraisal-level FIRO study. A work plan is now being drafted for release in early 2015. The FIRO study is expected to occur over the next five years (depending on funding).
Two-pager highlighting resources for California for dealing with drought and resilience.
From Too Much to Too Little provides an assessment of the 2012 central U.S. drought.
Two-page summary of the Drought Task Force I Assessment Report: Causes and Predictability of the 2011 to 2014 California Drought.
The report and summary were produced as part of the NOAA Drought Task Force I organized by the NOAA Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections Program (MAPP) in partnership with the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS).
California statewide precipitation during the last three winters (November-April 2011/2012 through 2013/2014) ranked the second lowest since official measurements began in 1895. Only the consecutive three-year period of 1974/1975 through 1976/1977 was drier. In this report, the authors analyze the causes and predictability of the California drought during these three consecutive rainy seasons observations and ensembles of simulations conducted with seven atmosphere models forced by observed sea surface temperatures.
